Spectator room
- NM HandKnit
hello our one welcome guest - Gizmo88DC
hahaha thank you :) - NM HandKnit
I'm interested in my opponent's decision to play this opening because I don't think it was in their db - NM HandKnit
specifically, I have a bunch of training games in this line, and I wonder if OP found them - NM HandKnit
the other option is they saw my score in the Maroczy and decided to try something else - NM HandKnit
Assuming my opponent continues with d6, I actually kinda forget how I want to play this - NM HandKnit
I guess first I look at pressing d6, but black usually covers that. After that... I think it's Nd4 and target the weak c6 square(?) - NM HandKnit
not very sure - Gizmo88DC
is this part of a predetermined chess league or something? How would OP know he's playing you to prepare opening choice against you? - NM HandKnit
I wonder what I do if OP pushes h6. I think I'm more used to d6 being on the board here, and I'm not sure how this changes without it - Mennonite
Yes it is - NM HandKnit
double checking b3, looking for opponent ideas - Mennonite
This is a Lonewolf league game, they have had a few days to prepare - Gizmo88DC
ah thank you - NM HandKnit
like the idea I'm concerned about is Bb4 and Ne4 but I think I still gotta play b3 - NM HandKnit
I don't think d5 here is a worry for me, though maybe it equalizes - NM HandKnit
I think here I just get good play up the d-file - NM HandKnit
trade some minors and land on d6(?) - NM HandKnit
hmm... taking on e7 first might've been better - NM HandKnit
because now I can't actually take on d7 because my N is loose - NM HandKnit
on the other hand, Ne4-d6 seems kinda hard to stop. f5 here seems a bit loose. - NM HandKnit
the thing about f5 is that I dunno if I want to play f4. Maybe it's fine - NM HandKnit
like, does black have time for Na5-b7-c5-e4? - NM HandKnit
and we do face the decision - NM HandKnit
I don't think I can play h4, that makes f4 for black too strong. But I have the simple Nf3 - NM HandKnit
I doubt this is bad, and I probably still have Ne5-f4 if that structure is good. - NM HandKnit
I also have Ne5 to meet Rf7, and I think I can play Rxd7 there - NM HandKnit
can black go for counterplay with Qf6? Feels kinda doubtful because of how the e-pawn ends up looking weak - NM HandKnit
like 16...Qf6 17.Qxd7 Rfd8 18.Qb5. Black's N is still on the moon. White controls e5 - NM HandKnit
Qc7 looks slightly better than Qb5 as a follow-up - NM HandKnit
since you also put a stop to Nb7, and maybe also Rac8 - NM HandKnit
what about something like Rfe8? Feels tepid but I think it kinda restricts white - NM HandKnit
this way, though... - NM HandKnit
Options, here, but one idea is to meet e5 with c5 - NM HandKnit
concerned about black getting at f2 - NM HandKnit
this puts me in position for 19...e4 20.Nd4 f4 21.Qxf4 - KINGMAGNUSISSUPREME
how are you chatting isn't it rated - Mennonite
He's using the whisper function - Gizmo88DC
yeah, he can't see anything we say - Mennonite
He's talking to the spectators but his opponent cannot see it until after the game - NM HandKnit
now that I see f2 problems, feel that Qxa7 maybe gave black too much play - KINGMAGNUSISSUPREME
ok that's cool - KINGMAGNUSISSUPREME
there was a miss 18 c5 - NM HandKnit
doing a sanity check that I'm not getting my Q trapped after e4-Nd4 - NM HandKnit
e4 last move was quite clever. Now I'm threatening Ng5 - NM HandKnit
what's kind of neat is that Ng5 is still working after Rf7 (it made more sense in other lines) - Mennonite
Seems like this threatens Ng5, no? - KINGMAGNUSISSUPREME
looks like it - KINGMAGNUSISSUPREME
yes ng5 now - NM HandKnit
the nice thing about the exchange is that I can be fairly casual about giving it back on d4 - NM HandKnit
still not clean, huh. If I play e3, e4-Ng5 is kind of an issue - KINGMAGNUSISSUPREME
I wonder what computer thinks - NM HandKnit
I think I meet f4 with f3 - NM HandKnit
I wanted the R off the a1 square to avoid tactics - KINGMAGNUSISSUPREME
its kh1 lol he will not find it - NM HandKnit
Kh1 might be a good idea to get out of both Qf2 and Nf4 checks - KINGMAGNUSISSUPREME
oh kh1 is goos - Mennonite
No computer lines until after the game please - KINGMAGNUSISSUPREME
ok - NM HandKnit
fg3 hg3 Qg6 is kind of an issue - NM HandKnit
wanna play Rf1 but, well, use time. sanity check. - NM HandKnit
okay, I think this is under control now - NM HandKnit
curious about your opening choice - Sooneroo
where at? - NM HandKnit
the whole thing - Sooneroo
lol - NM HandKnit
it looked like you'd been a dedicated Maroczy player to now - NM HandKnit
or, at least, c5-g6-Bg7 stuff - NM HandKnit
so, well, going for the QI stuff was notable - Sooneroo
yeah, it was interesting - NM HandKnit
Yeah, I think the QI stuff is in general good. Was Na5 prepared? I'm more used to a6 and d6 type stuff - Gizmo88DC
only 1 inaccuracy and 98% accuracy overall...cheater...hahaha jk jk gg - NM HandKnit
the lichess engine is... very kind with allocating inaccuracies and mistakes - Sooneroo
Na5 was on the fly, i did not see a good alternative - Sooneroo
due to the coming weakness on d7 - NM HandKnit
I see the opening book has Na5 as the most played move - NM HandKnit
at least on the masters side. the lichess side gives h6 - NM HandKnit
From what I've found, this set up kind of acts like a game of chicken where whoever tries to be active first gets in trouble - Sooneroo
interesting perspective. i was focussed on the d-file contest, whether i can pull of d5 securely - Sooneroo
looking back during the game, i did feel Ne4 wasn't the greatest - NM HandKnit
Yeah, I think it turns out that it's really hard to keep your d pawn after that - NM HandKnit
Oddly I think the N often belongs on e8, supporting d6 that way - Sooneroo
oh, that's a good option. bit inactive but rather solid - NM HandKnit
Yeah. Black sort of makes sure they don't immediately lose on d8, and once that's achieved you just sloooooowly organize your pieces - NM HandKnit
I think black usually looks to trade queens - NM HandKnit
there's one line with white's Q on e3, and black goes after it with Qb8-Qa7-b5 - Sooneroo
i'm going to turn in. thanks again for the game! gl with the rest of the league - NM HandKnit
good luck in the rest of it - NM HandKnit
